Description A speed painting that... wasn't. Meant to be a quickie doodle, but I kept on adding stuff and adding stuff, and I ended up spending a good 3 evenings on it. Ah well, totally worth it.

Big experiment, especially with the hair and skintone, both of which are kinda unrealistic, but I like 'em anyhow. Another attempt at painting the whole thing in greyscale, then adding all the colour on various adjustment layers.

Since it's about the right shape and I do have a huge version, if anybody wants a wallpaper of it just lemme know and I'll make one.

I've been drawing endlessly, just haven't experimented AT ALL with posture and positions, etc. I've been doing murals though, when I get back home (in the states now lol, your art is saving my sanity XD) I'll post a bunch of pics. They're stupid and noobie, but heeeeeey its all gravy. Lol.
I'm going to OCAD in September, so hopefully I'll actually learn a thing or two about art :V Ekekeke.

Very cool! I love the skin and freckles and leatherrrrrr. (Yes, it needed that many Rs) And I love that she doesn't seem to fall into the normal spygirl kind of... look. Thing. And the hair is lovely, realism or no.

Thankye. Glad you don't think she seems like the normal spygirl, I thought she came out pretty generic. XD

This is so gorgeous... it was worth all the time you put into it. It's like a photograph but more beautiful. It's not my second favorite picture on dA.... ever.

Thankyou.

Yeah, I think you're right about the forehead - the bottom half of her face is way too big, bleh. I think there was originally more hair at the top and I got rid of it or something. Idunno. But you're totally right. XD
